Im very confused. I have just bought a temp gun and tried it out. I have thermometers inside the vivs at floor level in the hot spot which read 91.3. With the temp gun about a foot away the temp is only 86.4. Help! |

Glad you're sorted now. Just as an additional observation, my temp gun supposedly hits what you're measuring the temp of with a spot of red light - but it doesn't! - instead it shines a cm or so above what you're measuring (Not really a problem once you've worked it out, but it had me confused for a while!) |

My post came through late there. Glad it's OK now. |

Did you get the same one I got? I found that the accuracy improves if you hold the trigger for a second rather than a quick press and release. When I tested my gun out I used the probe for my thermometer which is a glycerine bottle so there was a good area to target. I also held the gun a few inches away from the target area.

It's ok, me being a twat. I didn't leave it to settle for half hour. It's fine now! Ooops! |
